Jenna July 8, 2020 No Comments

A Tale from a My Career in the Restaurant Industry The week of Fourth of July is the slowest week of the year for any restaurant that is not on the beach. This is also the time of the year where the front of the house staff is there the latest and works the hardest. […]

The After Burn

Jenna April 13, 2020 No Comments

There was a full moon out, and it was Friday the 13th, 2018. Never one to be superstitious, I really didn’t think much of it, until the fireball.

Becoming Jenna

I am only figuring out myself as I am being thrust into the world as this new person. I am only just meeting her for the first time. I couldn't imagine having to do that on a worldwide stage.

The Eyes Have It All

Jenna March 30, 2020 No Comments

The eyes show fear — Fear from the soul hidden deep within, Fear from the tainted life itself, Fear from your own true being. The eyes show content — Content contained in your heart, Content flowing freely through your veins. The eyes show sadness — Sadness vaporized by the mind, Sadness creeping out of the […]

Whoa! How Did I Get Here?

Jenna March 23, 2020 No Comments

Six months ago I was in the middle of the deepest part of my depression. I remember crying into Ben's arms one day, feeling like I no longer wanted to live. But somewhere deep inside kept faith alive that I would come out on the other side. I just had to trudge through the pain for a little longer.

Seasons of Grief

Jenna December 29, 2019 1 Comment

Autumn is a season of grief. The days get shorter, and the nights get longer. Just like childhood, the curfew says to come home before dark. The holiday season starts to rev up, but some of us aren’t so ready to celebrate and be merry. Some of us are still in that season of grief, […]

Boundaries, Pendulum Swings, & the Science Museum

Jenna November 6, 2019 No Comments

When I was a little girl I spent a lot of time at the Science Museum of Virginia. My dad worked there, and anytime we got a day off of school I went to work with him. I loved spending days there with him, especially around the holidays. They had the entire place done up […]

It’s Only Fear

Jenna September 9, 2019 No Comments

The number one thing my therapist asks me during session is, "What are you so afraid of?" I usually ramble about all the reasons I should be afraid, and half the time she says, "So what!?" Then I start crying because I know deep down that she is right.
